Your opinion. Of course I will refrain from calling it stupid. I will not sink to that level. My opinion.....and feel free to call it stupid...won't bother me in the bit, considering the source....is that if we give concessions, the non-Union carriers will immediately jam concessions right down their employees' throats. And....we'll be right back where we started, and ABF will ask for a re-opener. If you notice.....all of ABF's propaganda is qualitive. They compare us to all the other carriers, so their perception of how much they're making....or losing,...is based on how they compare themselves to other carriers...........NOT what's in their bank account....or what the shareholders can expect. Why do they wait until contract time to plead poverty? Because it's the one time they can actually take something from their employees legally, and with our grudging approval. Other than a contract re-opener,....which, I guess, will be the strategy of the future. If you want to know truly when a company is in trouble,....watch the top and middle executives. If you see a mass exodus....see them leaving,....then the company is truly in trouble....executives have no loyalty, they chase the dollar. If there are no executives leaving,.....why they're just sticking around because they think there's a good chance they'll sucker their work force into concessions. If that happens.....Bonuses For All!.....reason to stick around. I don't know Stoney....is my reasoning stupid?
